About 7948 S Colfax Avenue
What is it about this area? Lake Michigan is minutes away, and so is everything built around it. Rainbow Beach, the South Shore Cultural Center, 2 golf courses, and the lakefront harbors. The Obama Presidential Center just opened in Jackson Park in 2026, and reinvestment is visible up and down these blocks. Also roughly 35 minutes to the Loop by train, 20-30 by car. First thing the notice is the extra-wide lot you are sitting on. Walking into 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths. This 1915 brick bungalow was taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2026, not a lipstick flip. The main level gives you 3 bedrooms, large spanning windows in the living room, you'll get tht factor upon entering, a separate dining room, and a brand-new kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The new second level adds 2 more bedrooms off a stairway that makes a real first impression. Downstairs, the finished basement handles everything else: rec room, 6th bedroom, another full bath, laundry, storage. New central A/C, luxury flooring throughout, rear deck, white picket fence, 2-car detached garage..more.
Additional Information: This property is located in the CHI - South Chicago neighborhood, IL. This 5 bedrooms detached single property is priced at $188/sqft.
